A new species of Saurichthys, S.majiashanensis , is described.It comes from a series of marine vertebrate-bearing beds of the upper member of the Nanlinghu Formation outcropping in the large quarry at the top of Majiashan (Majia Hill) near Chaohu (Hefei City, Anhui Province, China).Its age is Middle Spathian (Olenekian, Early Triassic).This new spe
Variation in the condition of marine sediments provides selective preservation milieus, which act as a key determinant for the abundance and distribution of dinoflagellate resting cysts in natural sediments.Microbial degradation is an understudied biological factor of potential importance in the processes.However, gaps remain in our knowledge about
Due to its outstanding ductility over a large temperature range, equiatomic HfNbTaTiZr is well-suited for investigating the influence of temperature and plastic strain on deformation mechanisms in concentrated, body centered cubic solid solutions.For this purpose, compression tests in a temperature range from 77 up to 1073 K were performed and term
Reproductive health education at the primary school level is a controversial topic.Although some recognize its importance in providing accurate information about the body and development, others raise concerns about cultural sensitivities and age-appropriateness.This review intends to explore various aspects related to the importance of reproductiv
The spreading of urban areas and the growth of human population worldwide raise societal and environmental concerns.To better address these concerns, the monitoring of the acoustic environment in urban as well as rural or wilderness areas is an important matter.Building on the recent development of low cost hardware acoustic sensors, we propose in
